Once you set up your custom track with the included tiles you can start racing using your Nintendo Switch. The karts used to race are remote controlled from your Nintendo Switch and include a little camera that projects your surroundings back to your Switch screen.

The special AR camera attached to the cars will also accurately place coins and power ups in your surroundings so that you get a full Mario Kart experience but the track will always be your real suroundings.

If you get hit by a turtle, your kart will actually spin and stop just like you come to expect from any frustratingly fun Mario Kart experience.

The game even features local multiplayer for up to 4 players so you can challenge friends and family to race you around the dining table! Take a look at the fast paced trailer below.
